We present today this book that was published last October:
Literary Plays: Adaptations of Brontë, James, and Turgenev
Myron Tuman

Paperback: 160 pages
Publisher: Lulu.com (3 Oct 2006)
ISBN-10: 1847287026
ISBN-13: 978-1847287021

Literary Plays presents contemporary, dramatic adaptations of three 19th-century literary giants: Charlotte Bronte, Henry James, and Ivan Turgenev. By the Author of Jane Eyre focuses on the tempestuous two years Bronte spent in Brussels and the literary masterpiece, Villette, that records the great love and great emotional crisis of that experience. Another Turn of the Screw reworks James's best known story, throwing new light on the long suppressed pedophilic impulse at its core, and thus can be read in conjunction with new interest in James charted in Colm Toibin's novel, The Master. First Love is an unabashed tribute to the Turgenev perfect story on the strength and weakness of the human heart. The retelling is simple and straightforward, drawing lovingly upon Tchaikovsky's Children's Album.
